It also depends on how hard the car is being driven. A car that gets absolutely hammered on all weekend is going to need more frequent oil changes and general maintenance than a car that does 1 day of HPDE driving.

For most people, going to the next best fluid above OEM is going to do the job generally, and changing oil and diff fluid every 2-3 events is fine. As far as what weight for the diff, 15W50 is good for places like AZ, where we are. Otherwise stick to 0W40 or 5W40.
